Genesis 17
1 And it came to pass that, when Abram was ninety and nine years old, Yahweh appeared unto Abram, and said unto him, I, am GOD Almighty, —Walk, thou before me and become thou blameless:
亚伯兰年九十九岁的时候，耶和华向他显现，对他说：“我是全能的 神。你当在我面前作完全人，
2 That I may set my covenant betwixt me and thee, And may multiply thee, exceedingly.
我就与你立约，使你的后裔极其繁多。”
3 And Abram fell on his face, —and God spake with him, saying:
亚伯兰俯伏在地； 神又对他说：
4 As for me, lo! my covenant is with thee, —So shalt thou become—father of a multitude of nations;
“我与你立约：你要作多国的父。
5 And thy name shall no more be called Abram, —but thy name shall become Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations, have I appointed thee;
从此以后，你的名不再叫亚伯兰，要叫亚伯拉罕，因为我已立你作多国的父。
6 And I will make thee fruitful, exceedingly, and grant thee to be nations, —Yea kings, out of thee, shall come forth;
我必使你的后裔极其繁多；国度从你而立，君王从你而出。
7 And I will confirm my covenant betwixt me and thee and thy seed after thee to their generations for an age-abiding covenant, —to become to thee a God, and to thy seed after thee;
我要与你并你世世代代的后裔坚立我的约，作永远的约，是要作你和你后裔的 神。
8 And I will give to thee and to thy seed after thee the land of thy sojournings—all the land of Canaan, for an age-abiding possession—And I will be to them a God.
我要将你现在寄居的地，就是迦南全地，赐给你和你的后裔永远为业，我也必作他们的 神。”
9 And God said unto Abraham, But, as for thee, my covenant, must thou keep, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations: —
神又对亚伯拉罕说：“你和你的后裔必世世代代遵守我的约。
10 This, is my covenant which ye shall keep, betwixt me and you, and thy seed after thee, —To circumcise to you every male:
你们所有的男子都要受割礼；这就是我与你并你的后裔所立的约，是你们所当遵守的。
11 So shall ye be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, —So shall it become a sign of a covenant, betwixt me and you.
你们都要受割礼；这是我与你们立约的证据。
12 And he that is eight days old, shall be circumcised to you every male to your generations, —he that is born of the house, and he that is bought with silver of any son of a stranger, who is, not of thy seed,
你们世世代代的男子，无论是家里生的，是在你后裔之外用银子从外人买的，生下来第八日，都要受割礼。
13 He must surely be circumcised, born of thy house or bought with thy silver, —So shall my covenant be in your flesh for an age-abiding covenant.
你家里生的和你用银子买的，都必须受割礼。这样，我的约就立在你们肉体上作永远的约。
14 But, as for the uncircumcised male who shall not be circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, —that person shall be cut off from among his people, —my covenant, hath he made void.
但不受割礼的男子必从民中剪除，因他背了我的约。”
15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, —but, Sarah, is her name;
神又对亚伯拉罕说：“你的妻子撒莱不可再叫撒莱，她的名要叫撒拉。
16 and I will bless her, yea moreover will give—from her—to thee, a son, —And I will bless her, and she shall become nations. Kings of peoples, from her, shall arise.
我必赐福给她，也要使你从她得一个儿子。我要赐福给她，她也要作多国之母；必有百姓的君王从她而出。”
17 And Abraham fell on his face and laughed, —and said in his heart To one a hundred years old, shall a child be born? And shall even Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?
亚伯拉罕就俯伏在地喜笑，心里说：“一百岁的人还能得孩子吗？撒拉已经九十岁了，还能生养吗？”
18 And Abraham said unto God, —Oh that, Ishmael, might live before thee!
亚伯拉罕对 神说：“但愿以实玛利活在你面前。”
19 And God said—Truly, Sarah thy wife, is about to bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name, Isaac, —and I will establish my covenant with him as an age-abiding covenant, to his seed after him.
神说：“不然，你妻子撒拉要给你生一个儿子，你要给他起名叫以撒。我要与他坚定所立的约，作他后裔永远的约。
20 Yet as for Ishmael, I have heard thee; lo! I have blessed him and will make him fruitful, and multiply him, exceedingly, —twelve princes, shall he beget, and I will grant him to be a great nation;
至于以实玛利，我也应允你：我必赐福给他，使他昌盛，极其繁多。他必生十二个族长；我也要使他成为大国。
21 But my covenant, will I establish with Isaac, —whom Sarah shall bear, to thee, by this set time, in the next year.
到明年这时节，撒拉必给你生以撒，我要与他坚定所立的约。”
22 And he left off speaking with him, —and God went up from Abraham.
神和亚伯拉罕说完了话，就离开他上升去了。
23 So Abraham took Ishmael his son and all born of his house and all bought with his silver—every male among the men of the house of Abraham, —and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on this selfsame day, according to that which God had spoken with him.
正当那日，亚伯拉罕遵着 神的命，给他的儿子以实玛利和家里的一切男子，无论是在家里生的，是用银子买的，都行了割礼。
24 Now Abraham, was ninety-nine years old, —when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
亚伯拉罕受割礼的时候年九十九岁。
25 And Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
他儿子以实玛利受割礼的时候年十三岁。
26 On this selfsame day, was Abraham circumcised, —and Ishmael his son;
正当那日，亚伯拉罕和他儿子以实玛利一同受了割礼。
27 and, all the men of his house, born of his house, and bought with silver from the son of a stranger, were circumcised with him.
家里所有的人，无论是在家里生的，是用银子从外人买的，也都一同受了割礼。
